    Collars

    Put the leash on him and let him walk around the house with it. Then begin by letting him walk you around the house with it. Just hold the leash and follow keeping slack in it. Before long he'll get used to it.

    keeping the dogs from barking at neighbors

    They bark at people walking by. One specifically barks when the neighbors are outside. Mainly it's one barks and the others follow suit. It's so hard with so many dogs. And trying to spend time with them all one on one is difficult as well. I was just outside spending time doing obedience as...

    Doberman question

    I get blindsided by noses in the hands. Both dogs do it and it's not just when I get home that's just when it's a given but they do it all the time. It's a conspiracy dammit just like the poop in the entry way right after I cleaned it up.

    Doberman question

    When I get home from somewhere and I walk in the yard both my dobermans greet me by getting behind me and touching my hand with their cold noses. It's kind of irritating but I deal with it. Is this a Doberman thing? Neither my pit bull or my brothers pit bull does this.

    Training styles Lab vs GSD

    Just thought I would add my two cents. I read somewhere that wolfs have like 5 different drives. One is the herding drive, the chase drive, the bonding and pack drive and so on. I don't remember the book or else I would look them all up for you. I see where the GSD would have more of a herding...

    Best Way to Teach Heel?

    I got this in a hand out at my class. For my pitbull it worked in about an hour. After that I didnt even need the leash for the rest of the walk.

    Car Sick

    Okay my doberman puppy (8 months) gets car sick I think. When I take her for car rides she drools the whole ride. I have to put a blanket down to keep her from drooling on the seats. Does anyone have any suggestions, remedies, ect? Or is this even car sickness as she doesn't puke or anything.
